THE PHARISEE AND THE PUBLICAN
"Two went to pray? O, rather say,
One went to brag, the other to pray;
One nearer to God's altar trod,
The other to the altar's God."
_From engraving by Brend'amour, after a design by Alexander Bida_.
DANTE ALIGHIERI
_After a photograph from the fresco by His friend Giotto, discovered

SONG.
FROM "PIPPA PASSES."
The year's at the spring,
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven--
All's right with the world.
ROBERT BROWNING.

A PASSAGE IN THE LIFE OF SAINT AUGUSTINE.
Long pored Saint Austin o'er the sacred page,
And doubt and darkness overspread his mind;
On God's mysterious being thought the Sage,
The Triple Person in one Godhead joined.
